Not quite instantly perfect.

I have normal to dry skin, very fair, with light freckles. I wear BB cream almost everyday for simple work makeup to even out redness and hide the worst of my dark circles. I normally use Maybelline Dream Fresh. I received the Garnier version as a trial.

I'll start with the things I liked about the Garnier BB Cream. Packaging - I really like that this is 50 ml rather than the 30ml Maybelline so I don't have to buy as frequently. I also like the flip lid instead of a screw top as it makes it a bit easier for applying makeup on the go (I'm often THAT girl on the train, I don't do mornings...). I love that this has SPF 15 which the maybelline BB lacks. This BB is quite thick and provides pretty good coverage over both redness around my nose and dark circles and I didn't need to use as much product as the Maybelline BB because of this. More product+using less makes it more cost effective than the Maybelline too! It also lasts on the skin all day (see tips though). The smell is pleasant and kindof cucumbery which is nice and fresh.

There are a few things that I don't like about this BB. Firstly the texture. I find this BB a bit too greasy even for my somewhat dry skin and made my skin look very shiny/oily. I feel like Garnier confuses 'healthy glow' with super shiny. I am VERY fair (cool - neutral tones) especially in winter and this was a bit too dark for me and too warm toned, I had to blend a lot down my neck to make it look less of a mask and I toned it down a little with the Shiseido powder which also helped to set the BB and make it last longer and reduce the shiny/oily appearance. Packaging-wise, the box was quite busy with too much/repetitive text.

Overall if this was produced in a lighter shade and less greasy I would be more inclined to buy again. Will try again in summer when I have a little more colour naturally!

Tips: I wear this BB with Olay SPF15 moisturiser underneath, applied with a nylon foundation brush and set with Shiseido Translucent Loose Powder.

Great product for an even greater price

I have normal to dry skin with the odd breakout at that time of month. Unfortunately my skin isn't as clear as it used to be, I have some sun damage so I can't get away with wearing no coverage like I used to :(, so I am a big fan of bb creams. I found this one had quite a thick texture but it felt nice on my skin, not too greasy and gave the perfect level of coverage! Not too heavy but enough to smooth out my complexion. There is no distinct smell to the product and it is long lasting. I will definitely use this product again.

Tips: I wear a light sunscreen underneath as it only has spf 15.

Garnier skin perfector BB cream

This product is super easy to apply and it goes on very evenly. I really like the consistency, it isn't too thick but isn't thin and watery which makes it easy to use. I can put it on in the morning and it makes an instant difference to how I look. I'm not a morning person but after putting it on I look much fresher and it evens out my skin tone nicely but I don't feel like it lasts all day. I'm not sure if it's because I have oily skin anyway but it seems very oily on my face and I wasn't a fan of that. I do like the way it smells though. Overall I think this product was OK, the oily feeling it left on my skin let it down. I like the idea of a moisturiser like this!

Tips: I would probably recommend this cream for someone who doesn't have oily skin

Garnier BB Cream

I use a particular moisturiser every morning and when I use anything new my skin reacts and breaks out. I didn't break out and it's been almost a week and no breakouts :) I noticed how smooth it was to apply, just the right consistency and I loved how much more 'awake' I looked.. Not to mention the coverage was awesome. I have noticeable freckles and they were gone after the 2nd application.. I would def be buying more of this..

Tips: I find that applying the bb cream straight after a nice warm face wash or hot shower feels amazing on the skin..

Garnier maybe a miracle BB cream

Has a lovely delicate fragrance and feels silky light. I'm not sure if it's because my skin is a little bit dry but I found by itself it felt a little bit dry putting on so I used my normal moisturizer underneath and that was great. Gave over all sheer but enough coverage. I do have some broken capillaries on my cheeks which it didn't cover so I used my concealer. Felt nice and light on, not heavy or chalky like some foundations and other BB creams I've tried and yet gave me the confidence of wearing a good skin protector and enough coverage for everyday wear. Seems to with stand the day's hard work too without looking patchy or streaky towards the end of the day. Normally when I change face creams/foundations I have a little break out but I was surprised with this I didn't. I was telling a friend of mine about it only to find out she uses it everyday and loves it. I'm finding a love affair growing myself.

Tips: If you have dry skin use a little moisturizer underneath

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream - Normal R

I was excited to try this BB cream as I have heard so many good things but I found it wasn't really the right product for me. It unfortunatly gave my face an oily/shiny look and didnt cover as much as my normal foundation would - I have heard that the BB cream for oily skin is a lot better and I would be keen to try that. It has a really nice smell and feels like velvet going on. I would probably not buy the product myself as it didn't cover much and left a dewy feel X

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream – Normal

I was really excited to try the Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream – Normal as I have tried BB Creams in the past and I wasn’t too impressed. Unfortunately I found this product to be fairly average like the rest. My skin type is normal, verging slightly on the dry side and is slightly pink in patches. I found the consistency of this cream lightweight and smooth to the touch. It was easy to distribute evenly gave a nice light coverage, and given my only slight pink tones the light coverage is sufficient for day wear. I did find however that my small dry patches were accentuated and it didn’t blend well on my nose area. This product smells good, and the packaging is cute and practical, but I don’t think I would be happy paying quite that much for it. Overall I would say it’s not a bad product, I just don’t think it’s perfect for my skin exactly.

Tips: I found moisturising and priming my face first made it go on smoother and last longer.

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream - Normal

I was quite impressed with this BB cream, as I have very pale skin and most make me turn a shade of orange. Their light coloured BB cream did a great job of blending with my skin tone and covering the dark circles I tend to get under my eyes. However, I found that using it as a day moisturiser it made my skin a little dry. For this reason I wore a moisturiser under it, and used a light hydrating spray to keep my skin dewy.

Tips: If you have pale skin, you need to blend the BB cream down your neck. I also found that wearing a light powder like MAC's Studio Fix provided a full make-up coverage look over the BB cream.

Had high hopes....

Unfortunately to me this is not a BB cream, it is more like a tinted moisturiser and not even a good one at that. I was excited to see the products colour and consistanly when first squeezing the product onto my hand. The light shade matched me almost perfectly and the mouse like thick formula seemed promising... but when applying it thinned out and only changed the shade of my skin ever so slightly. There was no evening of skin tone or redness to be expected with any BB Creams I have tried before. Also I noticed after it being on my skin for several minutes the colour had oxidised and had quite an orange tone to my face. Sorry Garnier I will be sticking with my Lioele at this stage!

Tips: Don't have high expectations! Seems like it may be ok as a around home moisturiser...

Garnier MIracle Skin Perfector BB Cream-Normal

I absolutely fell inlove with this BB cream. I'm the kind of girl who always wears a full face of makeup, even at home! This product does all that it says it is going to do and I love the fact that on the days I needed to apply more makeup,it just made my skin feel soft and smooth and had a lovely glow to it. It's a perfect base for any makeup fan,under your everyday foundation or just on its own. The added bonus is the yummy smell! I have now added this to my daily essentials of must have beauty products and I highly recommend this to everyone, especially the girls who dont really like to wear much makeup but love something light with full coverage!
